Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The T790M mutation is the major resistance mechanism to first- and second-generation TKIs in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. This study aimed to investigate the utility of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) for detection of T790M in plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and explore its impact on prognosis. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled 80 advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with gefitinib, erlotinib,...
